Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 2, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, l/VILLIAM PARKS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Frazeysburg, in the county of Muskingum and State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Strainer, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to milk strainers and its principal object is toprovide a strainer wherein the reticulated or straining element isremovable; the latter being mounted in a novel manner.

A further object of the invention is to provide a milk strainer which issimple in construction, durable in use, consists of few parts and whichmay be manufactured and sold at a minimum cost.

The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will becomefully apparent fromthe followlng disclosure and the inventive featuresexplicitly defined in the appended claim.

The invention consists of constructions, combinations, arrangement ofparts, and general assembly which will be hereinafter specificallyreferred to and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure l is a fragmental view of a receptacle having my improvedstrainer applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a view showing the reverse side of the strainer and showingthe manner of forming the heading;

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same taken on line 33 ofFig. 1; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmental view showing the manner of mounting thestrainer, taken on line l4 of Fig, 1.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates a wall of amilk pail or other receptacle which is formed with an upper wall 6having a discharge opening 7 therein. Formed upon opposite sides of theopening and extending transversely of the same are headings or ribs 8. Ahead 9 is also formed. in the wall near its outer edge which extendslongitudinally of the wall 6 and joins the ribs 8. The beading 8 and 9is formed by forming a depression upon the mner face of the wall 6.

Secured to the ribs or beading 8 and 9 is a discharge spout 10 whichincludes side walls 11 which are soldered or otherwise secured to thebeading S and an end wall 12 that is soldered to the heading 9. Thismanner of attaching the discharge spout affords a. space between thewall 6 and discharge spout. The inner edges of the side walls of thedischarge spout are bent inwardly and provide guide flanges 13 which arealso spaced from the wall 6 and receive a reticulated strainer 14. Theinner transverse edge of the strainer let is disposed between end wall13 and the wall 6 of the receptacle and abuts the heading 9.

The embodiment of the invention herein disclosed is considered to be thepreferred construction but it is to be understood that the invention maybe modified and that my limits of modification are only governed by theappended claim.

What is claimed is In a strainer, a wall having a discharge openingtherein, parallel longitudinal beads disposed upon opposite sides of theopening, a longitudinal bead disposed at the lower end of thefirst-mentioned beads and extending at right-angles thereto and joiningthe same, a discharge spout having inwardly directed inturned flanges atits edges, the flanges being spacedfrom the wall by the beads andsecured thereto, and a reticulated elearlient insertible between theflanges and we In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I havehereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
